Chapter 38

Five minutes later, Calvin came out of the room in a new set of clothes. He sat down on one of the benches. Michael walked over to him with a first aid kit and he bandaged him up again.

"Can you wrap my knee again?" Calvin asked, his voice void of emotion.

"Yea sure," Michael said.

Chloe watched on, her heart breaking at the sight of her friend in so much pain yet never showing it.

Once Michael made sure everything was set he took a bag from a room and they walked back. He would love just to get Chloe and Calvin out himself but there were guards outside the facility who were on alert and would shoot if provoked.

They arrived at the cell and Calvin sat down and stared at the opposite wall, ignoring Chloe and Michael.

Michael took Chloe aside and looked at her, "I will be back in a few minutes to bring you food." He grabbed a bottle of water and two pills out of his jacket pocket, "Give this to him when you two are done eating, before he goes to sleep. Don't let him shut you out."

Michael left before Chloe could protest. She put them in her pocket. She faced Calvin who had not moved since they returned. She walked over to him and kneeling in front him she moved his face towards her. Calvin started shaking again. He looked into Chloe's eyes, let his head fall down onto her shoulder and began to sob.

He knelt down next to Chloe, letting her hold him while he cried.

"Don't you there take the last piece of that pie, Smallville!" Lois gave him a warning look.

Diana, Bruce, and Martha watched on to see what would happen.

Clark moved his fork and placed the pie on his plate. He raised an eyebrow at Lois daring her to do something about it.

"I swear Smallville," Lois warned.

Clark smiled taking a piece of the pie on his fork. He was about to place the piece in his mouth when Lois came out of nowhere, took his plate and fork and placed the pie in her mouth.

Giving him a look of victory, she sat down gracefully with pie in hand while Diana and Martha burst out laughing. Bruce gave a little chuckle while Clark looked dumbstruck. He glared at Lois who paid him no mind.

Once everyone settled down, Bruce jumped into the story about what had happened earlier that day.

"Even though we have Michael watching over them, we have to get those two out as soon as possible especially after the stunt Diana and Lois pulled."

Both Diana and Lois gave Clark looks that could kill. Luckily he was invincible.

"What happened?" Martha asked.

"Let's just say Lex, a bunch of his guards knocked out, Lana on the floor… It looks like these two got into a fight and won," Clark said.

Bruce shook his head, excused himself and took his cell phone out. He called Alfred and asked him to find Michael. They needed to work quickly before something happened.

"What's his problem," Lois asked not liking Bruce's attitude.

"That's Bruce for you," Diana said.

"Yup," Clark said agreeing, "Chloe and Diana are probably the only people who he lets in. He hides his emotions most of the time.

"So what are you guys going to do?" Martha asked knowing Lois would say something.

"Basically play it safe, and get them out in one piece even though I would like to do it a different way," Clark said.

"Well, honey, you know what happened the last time you guys didn't stick with the plan. You guys have to be careful this time," Martha gave Clark a motherly look. He nodded quietly. Martha smiled and stood up, "Well, I have to do some paper work so I'll see you guys later."

Everyone thanked her as she left. Clark stood up and began to clean the table. Diana and Lois silently helped.

Bruce walked in, "Michael called me and told me there's a meeting with Lex tomorrow."

"About?" Lois asked.

"Not sure, but most likely the incident that happened earlier," Bruce said with a little annoyance in his voice.

"You know what I'm sick…"

Bruce's phone rang interrupting Lois. Shutting the phone, he looked at Diana, "I have to get back to do some things. Clark, thanks for the hospitality. Di, I'll see you later."

With that Bruce left. Diana grabbed her coat, "I should be going. Clark, we need to talk when you have time."

Clark looked at her, questions running through his head. Did she know? What would she say? Clark only nodded. Diana smiled and left leaving Clark and Lois alone.

"I need to talk to you," Clark said suddenly.

"About?"

"Us and what happened earlier."

"Smallville, I-"

"Lois, please I need to tell you something," Clark begged looking into her eyes.

Lois nodded, letting him lead her to the loft- the same place where the kiss occurred not too long ago.

He let go of her hand and began to pace trying to find the right words to say. He took a deep breath and turned to her.

"You know, I've been through hell when you were in that coma, wondering if you would wake up. I was lost, missing your smile, those eyes, your smart remarks, and the fact that you annoy me to no end. I realized that I can't live without you in my life. When I thought I would lose you, I broke down, begging God to just take me and save you."

Clark sat down across from her. Lois said nothing as he took her hand in his. "I realized I lo- care for you. You mean everything to me and I would give the world to you to keep you happy…"

"Clark…"

Lois didn't get her sentence in because Clark captured her lips with his. She responded passionately. It felt good but it was so wrong. Clark didn't want to let it go too far so he broke the kiss.

Their foreheads touched, and they breathed softly, "I had to do it for the last time. I will give you what you want," Clark said in a whisper.

"What's that, Smallville?" Lois asked softly, still catching her breath.

"A divorce."

Lois backed away shocked, "Wait, what?"

Clark stood up, "That's what you wanted, remember?"

Lois shook her head, "I guess I did say that."

"Tomorrow we will get it. I'll make sure of it."

Clark left Lois angry and confused. She put her head in her hands and wondered what the hell happened.

She walked over to the window and leaned against the frame. She hung her head down, "God please help me."

Clark leaned his head against the barn door, "I promised myself to make you happy even if it means letting you go."
